VITAMIN C
Reiss warns against taking vitamin C supplements if you are trying to conceive. However, she says the amounts of vitamin C found in prenatal vitamins are acceptable. Vitamin C in large doses works as an antihistamine, and dries out the cervix making it more difficult for sperm to fertilize an egg.
milk
Reiss found several studies to show a connection between milk consumption and fertility. A Harvard Medical School study conducted in 1994 found the number of women who experience infertility was highest in countries were milk consumption was also high. Women with high levels of glactose, a sugar in milk, were found to be infertile. Fertility levels began to dip in women as early as 20 years of age.
